Shenka. I reached for my second, just as she barreled out of the tent and ran right into me.

"Syd." Breathless, anxious, she hugged me in quick apology. "Tallah's here."

"You don't have to join us," I said.

"Yes," Shenka said, pulling me along, "I really do."

Part of me suddenly felt sorry for her sister. The look on my second's face told me she'd come to grips with turning Tallah in and was about to tear the older Hensley apart for being such an idiot.

Shenka shook her head. "You asked," she said. "But I never did."
